NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-mariadb100-mariadb-oqgraph-engine package and not the rh-mariadb100-mariadb-oqgraph-engine package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the /(?J)(?'d'(?'d'\g{d}))/ pattern and related patterns with certain recursive back references, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror, a related issue to CVE-2015-8392 and CVE-2015-8395.
